Read the first 7 Makeup Artist flashcards as text

  1. Which face shape benefit most from contouring the temples and jaw while highlighting the center of the forehead and chin?

    Answer: Round face shape

    Round faces are made to appear longer and slimmer by shading the wide sides and highlighting the center vertical plane.

  2. What does the term 'baking' refer to in makeup application?

    Answer: Setting concealer or foundation with loose powder for 5–10 minutes then dusting off

    Baking involves letting loose translucent powder sit on set areas for several minutes so body heat seals the base before the excess is swept away.

  3. A client requests a 'glass skin' finish. Which product combination best achieves this effect?

    Answer: Lightweight serum foundation + liquid highlighter + no powder

    Glass skin requires a luminous, transparent-looking finish achieved with lightweight coverage, hydration, and liquid or liquid-like highlighter without powder to dull it.

  4. Which eyebrow shaping technique uses a series of small, hair-like strokes to mimic natural brow hairs?

    Answer: Microblading or feathering technique

    Feathering or microblading-style strokes with a fine brow pencil or liner mimic individual hairs for the most natural-looking brow fill.

  5. When should a makeup artist use a color-correcting green primer or concealer?

    Answer: To neutralize redness from rosacea, acne, or broken capillaries

    Green cancels out red tones on the color wheel, making it the correct corrector for redness caused by skin conditions.

  6. Which type of false lashes is best for a client requesting a 'natural lash enhancement' without a dramatic effect?

    Answer: Natural wispy individual flare lashes blended throughout

    Natural wispy individual flares mimic real lash growth and blend seamlessly, adding length and volume without creating an obviously artificial look.

  7. A client has very thin, sparse brows and wants a fuller look without a permanent procedure. What is the best makeup technique?

    Answer: Combine a micro-tip brow pencil for hair strokes with a tinted setting gel

    Combining hair-stroke strokes from a fine pencil with a tinted brow gel creates density, definition, and hold while keeping the result looking natural.
